No love lost for Mickelson

Jim Furyk called playing in the same group with Mickelson this afternoon a "circus." And here's Adam Scott on whether he sympathized with Mickelson, who was visibly playing in pain:

"No," he said. "I don't".

Scott shot 76.

Tiger Woods, Furyk finish the same, different

Both heavy favorites this week, Furyk and Tiger Woods are both at 71, but they took very different paths to this score.

Woods said his final three holes kept him in the tournament. He sank an eight-foot putt for par on the 16th, got up and down for birdie on the short 17th, then hit a chip close to par the 18th.

Furyk was 1-under with four holes to play on the easier front nine but bogeyed both par 3s down the stretch.

Oakmont's 18th most difficult par 4

Dave Pelz called Oakmont's 10th hole the "toughest par 4 in America" earlier this week due a green that doesn't hold approaches. But the 18th is playing the toughest over par with a 4.65 scoring average. The 10th is second at 4.49.

The morning round featured an all-Spanish threesome: Sergio Garcia, Jose Maria Olazabal and Pablo Martin. Garcia looks unlikely to survive the weekend after a 79, but Olazabal (70) and Martin (71) are in the top 10. Olazabal spoke highly of the 21 year old.

"I have to say it's the first time I've seen him play under these conditions, and he did very well," Olazabal said. "He played really solid. His short game is good."
